[QUOTE="Allen Gamble, post: 480783, member: 4956"] A lake rebounding in a few years is going to be dependent on surveys, netting, and stocking. Not every lake is netted or surveyed every year, which further delays stocking and therefore it's rebound time. A few years is a flexible number, but to say it'll be recovered in 3-5 years isn't accurate at all, especially for some of these smaller prairie pothole gold mines that take a beating once the word spreads like wildfire. I can personally attest to this. It blows my mind when I see people from MN or SD who will drive to all the way to a ND 600 acre lake to fish when they could do the exact same thing with the same results in there home state. The guiding problem is a real conundrum, but at the end of the day shitty people are going to make shitty choices and pummel a lake whenever they want until changes to regulations and/or laws are made.
